Chad was born on February 16, 1982 in Oklahoma City. He graduated from Deer Creek High School in 2001. He grew up loving the outdoors, catching all kids of critters, fishing, skiing, swimming, bicycling, and many other activities. He loved animals and always had some kind of pet. Chad spent many hours at Emmanuel Baptist Church. It was very important to him and would invite all his friends to go with him. Chad went to the University of Central Oklahoma for two years. He had many jobs in his 34 years and did well at each one. He was currently working as a salesman at A to Z Flooring in Enid. Chad loved his family and friends. He lost his life as a result of a drug addiction that he could not escape. It is a terrible loss. With that being said, the kindness, gentleness, and respect that he always showed was like a pot of fine gold.
